Mudgee's crowd cheers as Panthers' Cleary and Raiders kick off the match confidently.
It's just about game time in Mudgee, with a packed crowd making plenty of noise and Nathan Cleary once again sporting his headgear.
And now we're off, with the Raiders kicking off and Moses Leota charging it back with the first hit-up of the game for Penrith. The Panthers' opening set ends with a kick finding Raiders fullback Xavier Savage 10 metres out from the Canberra line.
Canberra's opening set is no-frills as well, Jamal Fogarty's last-tackle bomb brought down safely by Dylan Edwards.
